In scanf/sscanffuns.c, the function 'scan' is defined as:
static int scan (const char **sp, const char *fmt, void *p1, void *p2)
but is then casted to:
int (*gmp_doscan_scan_t) _PROTO ((void *, const char *, ...))
and used. Whilst most architectures seem to cope with this, it is
undefined behaviour and due to the way varargs are implemented on AVR32,
it causes segfaults/incorrect results.
I have attached a simple fix for this which simply changes 'scan' to use
varargs as in the gmp_doscan_scan_t prototype.
(This is with the Debian packaged version gmp-4.2.4+dfsg, which is what
the patch has been created against).
I agree this is broken in GMP.
I don't fully understand the GMP scanf code.
I find two calls to sscanffuns.c's scan through the ->scan field, both
from __gmp_doscan. One call uses 3 parameters and the other uses 4
parameters.
Both the current and your suggested code assumes there are 4 parameters.
While your code is an improvement, it still looks undefined to me.
Do you agree?
